Actually this cinema opened in 1972 as a single screen very similar as the model shown with Jerry Lewis. The second screen was added several years later. Trying to find pictures of this theatre when I worked there.

An item in the 1-31-72 issue of Boxoffice said it was 350 seats and opened 1-14-72 with “Kotch” and the night before, a sneak for local officials was held. Operator’s name was Rosendahl.
